This week, Dawn of Autonomy continues “Safety & Security” month, sponsored by Sagetech Avionics, with Dr. Brandy Hill, Customer Experience & Marketing Manager for Counter-UAS, and Michael Matuszak, Deputy Program Manager for Counter-UAS, at Black River Systems Company. They join Dawn for a conversation about counter-drone readiness, evolving threats, and protecting critical infrastructure and government assets.
Both bring 25 years of military service alongside extensive experience in training and operational leadership. A retired U.S. Air Force veteran, Brandy focuses on equipping operators with the technology, training, and information they need to make risk-informed decisions while protecting their health and safety. A retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant, Michael draws on his background in intelligence and threat analysis to inform counter-UAS system placement, training, and capability development.
Tune in for a conversation about emerging drone threats, preparing counter-UAS teams, and bringing operational experience and technology together to support safer, more effective security operations.
